Max weighs into debate on Scottish culture

The debate about Scottish culture rumbles on, following the savage cuts applied to Scottish Opera, pushing it to the brink of extinction.

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, composer laureate, has mounted the barricades to send the latest salvo against the Scottish Executive. On a BBC Radio Scotland interview he attacked the politicians for their "ignorant" attitudes to culture:
